6 years ago this video was made. Nothing has changed. Its completely relatable and changing anyone who wants change... I'm that low and that capable of sin ...but I'll keep getting up until I get myself together. For GOD......and stop offending him ..who is all good...
@@jjchick95 You don't need It to go away. False joy based on material good IS a lie. You need to learn to live with certain amount of sadness sometimes. Take It as another kind of temptation. Just don't give Up, pray to God, and go on. Same with anxiety, another devilish trick.
Father, Thank you for this video. It opened my eyes. I have suffered with sorrow for 51 years. Your video on sorrow has helped me more than anyone who ever tried to help me. I learn a great deal from all of your videos. I pray for you daily and have requested perpetual Catholic Mass for you. Thank you for being a Priest, and sharing your knowledge.

God always makes something good out of something bad. The pandemic led me to Father Rippenger. Through this amazing instrument of God, I have learned so so much. He is exactly what I needed to daily draw nearer to God. May God bless him as he shepherds the flock. Praise God! Open your hearts and let his words enter in…. 🙏🙏🙏✝️
Thank you for explaining this. Amazing how it comes around and around. When I first listened before my daughter’s death, it didn’t have the same impact. Now when the message is truly needed, it’s hitting home.
I’m so grateful I’ve come across your videos. I’ve felt great sorrow for the separation my current state in life has caused between my immediate family and I. I’m trying to be the woman I once was before my divorce the best way I can. My parents saw my sin and turned their back on me but I know God’s mercy is with me and my child. With Him all things are possible. He will redeem me no matter the gravity of my sins. I will not let the devil deceive me through their accusations and condemnation! My God is unconditional love. He knows my struggles!
It is regretful that your parents turned their back on you. No matter what stay with God because there is nowhere else or anyone else for comfort, forgiveness and mercy. He loves you and all of us very much and very much wants to draw us into His Ocean of Divine Mercy.
Well, divorce IS a sin. So at least, if there's no way of reconciliation, if you are a true Catholic you should live a celibate life from now on. Feelings do not make the trick with God, facts do.
confessing veinel sin will help to keep your soul healthy and avoid mortal sin Love how he tells men to be men and what that actually means! Great priest!
Father these videos are so important. You are teaching me and my family super important information. God Bless you and please keep posting. I told my daughter she would never hear this in any homily today
True. Homilies are getting shorter and shorter and teaching less and less. This is my main problem with the Church, my family attended the church all their lives and yet have no spiritual understanding at all, and don't know the Bible at all. I have never heard a priest say to read the Bible. This is why many people get deceived. They don't know the word of God at all. It really is not enough to just go to church.
I agree with Fr. I do accept Gods forgiveness. Then you feel relief and free from that evil. You go out back into the world and 💥! Here comes someone that throws all of those sins from the past right back at you.
@@archangelliii2536 Although pope Benedict XVI has shifted a lot since early days where he was fascinated by Nouvelle Théologie (There's still his picture on the wikipedia page describing NT) he still seems to holds in high esteeme modernist heretics like Hans Urs von Balthasar, so I am not sure about him.
Father forgive me. Such powerful and deeply moving words I can relate to. I need help. I never thought that my PTSD could be a form of pride. I am sorry for what evil GOD allowed to happen to me… my whole life. Yes, there is unconscious anger within me as I blew up to GOD, recently, yet I knew HE did not want. Fear, anger, sorrow are mixed. And I have an AWE of GOD, my CREATOR. On my knees before the priest( Jesus) I get so pained by sins, I often breakdown sobbing. I will have to search out more of your talks. Drugs did not help and they have given me lifetime reactions. I try to give my will to JESUS, but as I understand my pride is an obstacle. I always called JESUS my PHYSICIAN, I plead with HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. I am grateful to Our GOOD GOD that I watched/listened to your words…. And I need to listen again and take notes. MAY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST COVER US, SAVE US 🙏🩸🙏😢

This is why I have to go to the SSPX for confession, full stop. Modern priests completely dismiss me, sometimes kindly, sometimes not, when I confess my interior disorders, and being a melancholic, that's where most of my sins are.
The Hussar's Jacobitess Sorry...You do Not "have to go to a Pius X Society Priest for Confession"! You MUST Look for a Confessor...And There ARE Holy Priest's Out There! I'm 76, & I watched the Schism Form & take place, then as ALWAYS Happens after the initial Heat, the schismatic Sect begins to go deeper into error & splinters from the inside...I know what you mean about the problem, & it does take a Toll...The "Fraternal Order Of St. Peter", (A paraphrase, can't think of exact) was founded in an effort to Combat problems being caused by the Poor Formation of Priests, (Deliberate in Many cases) in the Seminaries...Priests in that Order spent time Studying in Rome, & answered to the Pope, Rather than Local Bishops...(Because Priests were being "Fired" by some Bishops, for Orthodoxy!) There were times I told the Priest, "Fr. PLEASE just give me Absolution & Penance...I don't need Psychological counseling, I SINNED because of my Choices, & I need you for the Sacrament, to Forgive"! 😀😎☦️
Yes... interior disorders are such a difficult struggle... I suppose even these agonizimg struggles must be submitted to... these struggles are perhaps the most difficult becasue of their effect on heart and mind and therefore submission to this suffering is chosen in a different and perhaps more difficult way... Surely God's grace will be sufficient... this is certainly my hope... ☦️
Is it bad that I kinda want to know who in the world would answer a priest that they are sorry they did something, but would go back out and do it again?! 🤦🏻♀️Man it’s got to be hard to be a good priest like Fr Ripperger. God bless ya!
You only need to have the number for mortal sins. That said if you don't remember the number tell the priest that and at least try to give an estimate. It's important to try and remember the number if possible because that should determine how much penance is given.
If I don’t know how many times but I know it was a lot, then I simply say that I committed the sin “many times”. The priest may have an idea based on how long you’ve been in a sinful situation for and/or how long it’s been since your last confession. God knows if we are being open and honest to Him.
Here is why is it I have what i call a litany of sins and I go to confession and I go in and am tongue tied with a blank mind and stumble through.... It makes me sad. As a child I had resorted to writing down my sins which helped me, like the Italian nuns told us when I was in grade school . But somebody found my paper in my jacket pocket and told other kids and they teased me about it on the playground for days afterwards. I finally told my Mom and she told the nuns and everybody got punished, including me, because the nuns tried to make it an anonymous child who "tattled". But everybody knew, which made recess hell for me thereafter. I began to hide in the church during recess, until somebody tattled and one of the nuns made me stay outside and locked the door near the playground. I found the front doors unlocked and snuck in that way until somebody tattled on me again. Kids can be very cruel, and I could never get away with anything, I felt like the class scapegoat. I loved learning and had good grades but I hated school. I didn't tattle that the kids were still picking on me and even after summer, it had all started back up. It all came to a head though when a teacher shamed me in front of the class for playing inside my clamshell desk; she came and sat on the top lid with my 8 fingers clamped between the lid and desk. I did not cry out loud but she looked down to see tears rolling down my face and got off immediately and walked on, reading to us. I opened my desk and took a pencil and wrote on a paper so hard it impressed into the next two pages "I hate (sister such n such) I really mean it!!!", wiped my face, and set the lid down quietly, hiccupping back my sobs. Another kid nearby saw the whole thing, and during recess, snuck in and got the damning paper out and told the teacher he found it in the trash, and that the janitor had told him to empty the trash. Sister knew our handwriting; mine was very neat even in anger carved deeply into those papers. After school , Sister asked me to stay after, which she often did those who walked to and fro , to wash the chalkboard and clean the erasers. I was pleased because I thought she wasn't mad at me anymore. All the whispers of "You are gonna git it..." went up like vapor from the tea kettle about to screech. Instead, after all the bus kids were gone, Sister, the Principal, and MY MOM came in. Sister had me sit in a desk right next to hers, where the wiggler kids normally sat, and laid that paper down in front of me "Did. You. Write. This?" My Mom asked "Where did you find this?" coming over to look at it. I could hear my own heart beating. "One of the boys who helps the Janitor found it in the trash..." I was terrified of my teacher who had hurt my now bruised fingers, fearful of the Principal a tiny Scottish woman who even the great big 8th grader BOYS were scared of, and most of all my Mom. I said "No I didn't write that" stood up and put it on Sister's desk. I was shaking so hard I thought my Mom would see and do what she always threatened to do, "...take our heads off close to our ankles..." a scene far beyond my imagination but got the point across to all 6 of us children. I felt like hell had come and taken my soul, but I was more afraid in that classroom than any hell I could imagine. Mom and the nuns chit-chatted a bit, passed that paper and one of my practice handwriting papers, comparing them, and then Mom said "Let's go home honey" in a kind voice. SHE believed me!!! . In the car, Mom said "Now tell me what's been going on," and I burst into tears. And the whole thing all came out from the time last year when some kid rifled through my jacket and found my sins all laid out, and then passing them around on the playground. Teasing all last year and teasing didn't stop this year, and it kept getting worse and worse. Sister sitting on my hands and the purple bruises and everything!! Mom pulled me close and held me the longest time ever. And then said "Let's go talk to Father Joseph..." and I almost threw up all over her. But we drove over to the priest's residence and went inside, Mom talked a few minutes with the priest and then turned to me and said "just tell him everything you told me, okay?" I began with "Bless me Father for I have sinned...." and he gently stopped me. He was a huge Polish man and cast an immense shadow, but he was so gentle and kind and handsome sitting down there at my level, right then. He said "you just tell me what your Mom said ..." So I did. I saw his face go white, and red, sad and finally smiling with a kind of glint in his eye. "Everything will be alright, don't you worry anymore." I am sure he saw my feelings as I had relived each moment but when he said that my heart seemed to break free of a terrible rope and I sobbed my heart out when he said he had seen me in the church so often, not knowing I was hiding. He was rather awkward holding me but hoisted me up onto his hip like my uncles would do, and took me out to my Mom, telling her he'd handle it. We had children's masses each morning before the buses arrived and all the walking kids attended morning mass. He had some sermons on confession of sins and how we were not supposed to sit so close to the confessional to listen to each others sins. And how wrong it was to do that, and how he would DIE before he told peoples sins. The nuns brought out stories of saintly priests who had died rather than reveal somebody's sins. Even the king of England tried to force a priest to tell the sins of the queen and was murdered by the king because he wouldn't tell. You can bet he heard a lot of confessions about that subject after that! And the door to church was unlocked after that, too. I would go sit in church and just listen. Doves in the pines. Sounds of the kids on the playground, the recess bell. It wasn't long before the nuns started teaching us about "vocations". The nuns would talk to me about it a lot, and one told me about breast binding because I complained about how the boys kept bumping into me there and hurting me. I asked my Mom about that, and you'd have thought the roof was going to come off. You can bet the nuns heard all about that! I have been very blessed to have good priests the rest of my life. But I don't write out an lists of my sins, for sure. I DO really like the pamphlets that help a person thinks of their sins by using the 10 Commandments as a guide.
I have come to believe God has great plans for each one of us and all we have to do is co-operate with Him. After all God sent us us Jesus and Jesus did it for The Father so we may know how GREAT is His Plan of eternal Love for each one of us. My Mom had a special devotion to Saint Joseph and asked every priest why we did not know his heart like we know Jesus's Heart is sacred, and Jesus named His Mother's heart as Sorrowful and we also know that Jesus's Heart is Eucharistic, because all the Eucharistic miracles tested show they are from one man, with same blood type, and are actual Heart tissue. Mother mary is also known as The Immaculate Heart. My Mom wanted to know why there was no defined name for the Heart of Joseph and spent many years searching. Finally, one day one of Mom's friends phoned to say they had to take their son Joseph for emergency heart surgery and were flying out to the surgeon in Texas the next morning. The 13 yr old boy was going to die like his siblings did, if they did not at least try to repair his heart. He had a 50/50 chance. my mom was a religious artist and she sat down and prayed the whole time she drew a picture of saint Joseph in the name she had been secretly calling his heart... The Compassionate Heart of joseph. She mailed it even though it wouldn't arrive for at least two days while they were in Texas. miraculously it arrive that next morning just before they left for the airport and Joseph's mother Grace took it along with them. She would open it up after the boy was taken into surgery and she asked a nurse for some tape and put it on the wall where his bed would be. The doctor said the surgery went very well and that Joseph would be cured with recovery. When he awoke the artwork wsa the first thing he saw and he asked "Am I in Heaven?' So, my friend I think something great has happened because I am witness to the creation of the painting, and recorded the whole history of it, because I was the quiet stay-at-home shy child due to the treatment of other children. But I learned compassionate behavior because of it. @@reverentiagmr6331
It is sad the Nuns said to write out sins rather than saying to do so in some sort of code. That was a bad experience to have. Children can be very very cruel. Fr. Ripperger gives very sound instructions. God and Mary be with you. Peace of the Christ child envelope you and yours.
How do you apply these teachings to a valid Catholic marriage where there is the distinction of alcoholism with a spouse? Do you end the marriage? Do you leave? This is extremely painful.
I recommend you discuss this with your spiritual director if you have one or get one by consulting the diocese if there are some priests that would be recommended to speak on marital matters.
I love romance novel/comics but I have to avoid so many because I want a romance novel that doesn't get into the imodest occasion of sin stuff..... I enjoy a story but then a few chapters in they start getting weird, it's so frustrating.
The priests at one church here at least doesn't give pennance and says all sins are absolved even the ones you forgot. As a kid, I had to do Our Fathers and Hail Marys at the altar rail. None of that now. No altar rail even.
He's a human being, which means he has a soul. Whatever his characteristics, the best thing to do is not to judge him--because, as Father Ripperger says, you don't know anything about his baggage--but rather to pray for him. I have found out, the hard way, that asking God to give the person his "best thing," while letting God decide what that is, would probably bring good results. The results might not look good at the outset, but they will be in the long run.
I have heard somewhere that Jesus is your accuser before you commit a sin, the devil is your advocate. After you commit the sin Jesus is your advocate and the devil your accuser. That is why we battle with our conscience prior and feel guilty after our fall. If we listen to the advocate we can use the grace provided to go to the sacrament of reconciliation. If we don’t, the accuser is terrible and we sink into depression.
Fr. Ripperger says all of us are assigned guardian angels and even demons, under his conference of Guardian Angels (also available on UA-cam). This is how we battle the good vs. evil
Find me ONE licensed psychologist who would affirm "Sorrow is bad and should be avoided at all costs." -Ridiculous. I appreciate much of Fr. Ripperger, but this sort of thing makes me more than cringe, and I am no fan of modern psychology.
Matt Finley Psychologists will seek the answer as some technique that will alleviate sorrow anxiety suffering. One told me it’s normal and it’s nothing. Zero out of 3 told me to accept the feelings and zero pointed me towards a higher power. None of them helped my problem and furthermore the help I got was in the New Age arena which also did not take into consideration the source of my sorrows but rather they call the process alchemy.
This is a good talk. Not all of it is precisely biblical. You have to reach quite a bit to claim that the priest alone is necessary for the forgiveness of personal sin. Notice Ripperger rarely refers to the Holy Scriptures. Rarely. This is sad as so much of what he does have to say is great Christian teaching and well founded on Biblical truth. But in my humble opinion, there is circular reasoning. The RCChurch claims through various ideologies that it holds sole authority over all matters pertaining to faith. It claims that the source is Scriptural. Brilliant theologians have argued some of these points for- virtually-ever. While there is so much to appreciate in the lectures presented by Ripperger, the tone in his voice and approach towards Protestantism is disrespectful. It's well cloaked, rather than overt, but sadly it is there. This is my subjective take on his presentation. No one is perfect and he certainly has made a contribution to the good of souls. That is something for which to give God praise and thanks. ~~
@@robertmcbride3 Well, thank you. I appreciate you clarifying your tone and intent. Your wording and total condemnation of anything outside Your Brand of Catholicism has not been Catholic teaching by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine for decades. The Baltimore Catechism, for instance, reads in direct opposition to your claim of the "sinfulness of Protestantism." Your sect of Catholicism is not recognized by Rome. And Rome is not recognized as being in full communion by the Orthodox Churches. They are the most ancient of faiths. Not those whom you claim were Catholic. Many were eventually. Yes indeed. But early on and contiuing until today, the Orthodox is most ancient. Including the traditional "Old" (ancient) Catholic Church. It is not Roman. They are recognized by Rome and I believe the Orthodox as well. Very conservative Anglo Catholics have retained proof of apostolic succession. Which by the way is likely more accurate than the first 1500 years of poor technology. But, I trust the Roman bishops did their best to ordain their priests properly. St Pope John Paul ll joined in concelebration with Blessed Brother Roger of Taize. The pope granted a dispensation to the holy monk and administered the Holy Eucharist to him. However, there were separate lines for Holy Communion, one for Anglicans and one for Romans. But I digress. By the way, if I did not say so already, the Orthodox Churches are not in full communion with Rome and do not invite them to Eucharist as they see Rome as schismatic. Rome however, invites the Orthodox to the Table. I'm writing because the extreme interpretations of current Catholic teaching is just not in line with popes for over the last 60 years or so. Maybe a little less. Most of us did not like some changes made by Vatican Council ll. That is why as morally conservative Anglicans we follow the teachings of the present catechism while retaining many of the very old pre Vatican Council Order of the Mass. Diocese vary a little. But many of our masses are far more solemn. If you should attend and do not find Christ in the Eucharist, I'm sorry. He shows up for me and many every time if they have a broken and contrite heart. Remember Matt 11:25-26 "...I thank you Father for having kept the truth from those who think themselves so wise, and for revealing it to the childlike. Yes Father, it pleased you to do it this way." That was from memory and my punctuation and synonyms could be off a little bit from the Ignatian Bible. If so, I do apologize. The essential and contectual meaning is there I believe. Thank you for the peaceful dialog.
@@robertmcbride3 Somehow the comment I made below was truncated. I don't remember what it was specifically, but did comment further in a new post to complete my reply. I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts. Thank you!
Do explain why people seek excorcists from the Catholic Church and not Protestant ones then? Fr. Ripperger quotes scripture dozens of times over the course of his other sermons by the way.
@@saucyvinnie3812 The premise of your question is illogical. There are highly effective exorcists in other denominations. But if "Hollywood" has failed to inform the public it would make sense to assume otherwise. Not.
You are wrong Father Ripperger. People can be resolutely evil and follow evil. They will jump into hell in their self worship with all knowledge and curse God even with some option. It's that horrible! Can you imagine such evil? It exists, Satan knew what he did and will never come back. A mortal sin cannot be committed without full knowledge. God will not damn someone who is on the path to God. Do not instill dispair, father. I'm sorry Father Ripperger, you are misleading with good intentions. Still, you are good.
I knew a woman who was an avowed atheist who on her deathbed, dying young of cancer, chastised people that wanted to pray for her. Proud, unrepentant. I shudder to think of what greeted her the second her heart stopped.
Fr. Ripperger breaks these dense theological concepts down so well. Everytime I re-listen I learn more!
I know. One of his videos I’ve probably watched 10 times and always learn something.
6 years ago this video was made. Nothing has changed. Its completely relatable and changing anyone who wants change... I'm that low and that capable of sin ...but I'll keep getting up until I get myself together. For GOD......and stop offending him ..who is all good...
Depression is not living the life God intended for you. Very helpful to have this succinctly stated.
Yes! And there is a sorrow that does NOT LEAD TO REPENTENCE.
Of course, but as someone with depression u can't just make it go away.
@@jjchick95 You don't need It to go away. False joy based on material good IS a lie. You need to learn to live with certain amount of sadness sometimes. Take It as another kind of temptation. Just don't give Up, pray to God, and go on. Same with anxiety, another devilish trick.

Sorrow can be good or bad according to the longtime outcome 1. Sorrow to amendment 2. Sorrow to guilt 3. Sorrow about lack of compassion

Is it bad that I kinda want to know who in the world would answer a priest that they are sorry they did something, but would go back out and do it again?! 🤦🏻♀️Man it’s got to be hard to be a good priest like Fr Ripperger. God bless ya!
thank you for downloading

Long live Christ The King
Ty so much Fr
Wow this audio is good!
Can I ask for the best man Father Ripperger to explain his past & how his religion was pursued? Good man thank you
Amen
Fr Ripperger should be canonized
One day... He will be canonized...
Yes, I know he will be. He would be a great Patron Saint!
Not yet. Hopefully not for a long time.
Hold off on that, he's still alive!
If you don’t remember how many times you have committed a particular sin, what do you do?
You only need to have the number for mortal sins. That said if you don't remember the number tell the priest that and at least try to give an estimate. It's important to try and remember the number if possible because that should determine how much penance is given.
If I don’t know how many times but I know it was a lot, then I simply say that I committed the sin “many times”. The priest may have an idea based on how long you’ve been in a sinful situation for and/or how long it’s been since your last confession. God knows if we are being open and honest to Him.
Only mortal sins. Eventually you will not be confessing countable sins, but instead, vices, which are ongoing defects.
Here is why is it I have what i call a litany of sins and I go to confession and I go in and am tongue tied with a blank mind and stumble through.... It makes me sad.
As a child I had resorted to writing down my sins which helped me, like the Italian nuns told us when I was in grade school . But somebody found my paper in my jacket pocket and told other kids and they teased me about it on the playground for days afterwards. I finally told my Mom and she told the nuns and everybody got punished, including me, because the nuns tried to make it an anonymous child who "tattled".
But everybody knew, which made recess hell for me thereafter. I began to hide in the church during recess, until somebody tattled and one of the nuns made me stay outside and locked the door near the playground. I found the front doors unlocked and snuck in that way until somebody tattled on me again. Kids can be very cruel, and I could never get away with anything, I felt like the class scapegoat. I loved learning and had good grades but I hated school.
I didn't tattle that the kids were still picking on me and even after summer, it had all started back up. It all came to a head though when a teacher shamed me in front of the class for playing inside my clamshell desk; she came and sat on the top lid with my 8 fingers clamped between the lid and desk. I did not cry out loud but she looked down to see tears rolling down my face and got off immediately and walked on, reading to us.
I opened my desk and took a pencil and wrote on a paper so hard it impressed into the next two pages "I hate (sister such n such) I really mean it!!!", wiped my face, and set the lid down quietly, hiccupping back my sobs.
Another kid nearby saw the whole thing, and during recess, snuck in and got the damning paper out and told the teacher he found it in the trash, and that the janitor had told him to empty the trash.
Sister knew our handwriting; mine was very neat even in anger carved deeply into those papers. After school , Sister asked me to stay after, which she often did those who walked to and fro , to wash the chalkboard and clean the erasers. I was pleased because I thought she wasn't mad at me anymore. All the whispers of "You are gonna git it..." went up like vapor from the tea kettle about to screech.
Instead, after all the bus kids were gone, Sister, the Principal, and MY MOM came in. Sister had me sit in a desk right next to hers, where the wiggler kids normally sat, and laid that paper down in front of me
"Did. You. Write. This?"
My Mom asked "Where did you find this?" coming over to look at it. I could hear my own heart beating.
"One of the boys who helps the Janitor found it in the trash..."
I was terrified of my teacher who had hurt my now bruised fingers, fearful of the Principal a tiny Scottish woman who even the great big 8th grader BOYS were scared of, and most of all my Mom.
I said "No I didn't write that" stood up and put it on Sister's desk. I was shaking so hard I thought my Mom would see and do what she always threatened to do, "...take our heads off close to our ankles..." a scene far beyond my imagination but got the point across to all 6 of us children.
I felt like hell had come and taken my soul, but I was more afraid in that classroom than any hell I could imagine.
Mom and the nuns chit-chatted a bit, passed that paper and one of my practice handwriting papers, comparing them, and then Mom said "Let's go home honey" in a kind voice. SHE believed me!!! .
In the car, Mom said "Now tell me what's been going on," and I burst into tears. And the whole thing all came out from the time last year when some kid rifled through my jacket and found my sins all laid out, and then passing them around on the playground. Teasing all last year and teasing didn't stop this year, and it kept getting worse and worse. Sister sitting on my hands and the purple bruises and everything!! Mom pulled me close and held me the longest time ever.
And then said "Let's go talk to Father Joseph..." and I almost threw up all over her.
But we drove over to the priest's residence and went inside, Mom talked a few minutes with the priest and then turned to me and said "just tell him everything you told me, okay?"
I began with "Bless me Father for I have sinned...." and he gently stopped me. He was a huge Polish man and cast an immense shadow, but he was so gentle and kind and handsome sitting down there at my level, right then. He said "you just tell me what your Mom said ..." So I did.
I saw his face go white, and red, sad and finally smiling with a kind of glint in his eye. "Everything will be alright, don't you worry anymore." I am sure he saw my feelings as I had relived each moment but when he said that my heart seemed to break free of a terrible rope and I sobbed my heart out when he said he had seen me in the church so often, not knowing I was hiding. He was rather awkward holding me but hoisted me up onto his hip like my uncles would do, and took me out to my Mom, telling her he'd handle it.
We had children's masses each morning before the buses arrived and all the walking kids attended morning mass. He had some sermons on confession of sins and how we were not supposed to sit so close to the confessional to listen to each others sins. And how wrong it was to do that, and how he would DIE before he told peoples sins. The nuns brought out stories of saintly priests who had died rather than reveal somebody's sins. Even the king of England tried to force a priest to tell the sins of the queen and was murdered by the king because he wouldn't tell.
You can bet he heard a lot of confessions about that subject after that! And the door to church was unlocked after that, too. I would go sit in church and just listen. Doves in the pines. Sounds of the kids on the playground, the recess bell.
It wasn't long before the nuns started teaching us about "vocations". The nuns would talk to me about it a lot, and one told me about breast binding because I complained about how the boys kept bumping into me there and hurting me. I asked my Mom about that, and you'd have thought the roof was going to come off. You can bet the nuns heard all about that!
I have been very blessed to have good priests the rest of my life.
But I don't write out an lists of my sins, for sure.
I DO really like the pamphlets that help a person thinks of their sins by using the 10 Commandments as a guide.
All I can say is that I think God has really GREAT plans for you. May our Lord continue to bless you and your mom, too.
I have come to believe God has great plans for each one of us and all we have to do is co-operate with Him. After all God sent us us Jesus and Jesus did it for The Father so we may know how GREAT is His Plan of eternal Love for each one of us.
My Mom had a special devotion to Saint Joseph and asked every priest why we did not know his heart like we know Jesus's Heart is sacred, and Jesus named His Mother's heart as Sorrowful and we also know that Jesus's Heart is Eucharistic, because all the Eucharistic miracles tested show they are from one man, with same blood type, and are actual Heart tissue. Mother mary is also known as The Immaculate Heart. My Mom wanted to know why there was no defined name for the Heart of Joseph and spent many years searching.
Finally, one day one of Mom's friends phoned to say they had to take their son Joseph for emergency heart surgery and were flying out to the surgeon in Texas the next morning. The 13 yr old boy was going to die like his siblings did, if they did not at least try to repair his heart. He had a 50/50 chance. my mom was a religious artist and she sat down and prayed the whole time she drew a picture of saint Joseph in the name she had been secretly calling his heart... The Compassionate Heart of joseph. She mailed it even though it wouldn't arrive for at least two days while they were in Texas.
miraculously it arrive that next morning just before they left for the airport and Joseph's mother Grace took it along with them.
She would open it up after the boy was taken into surgery and she asked a nurse for some tape and put it on the wall where his bed would be.
The doctor said the surgery went very well and that Joseph would be cured with recovery. When he awoke the artwork wsa the first thing he saw and he asked "Am I in Heaven?'
So, my friend I think something great has happened because I am witness to the creation of the painting, and recorded the whole history of it, because I was the quiet stay-at-home shy child due to the treatment of other children. But I learned compassionate behavior because of it. @@reverentiagmr6331
It is sad the Nuns said to write out sins rather than saying to do so in some sort of code. That was a bad experience to have. Children can be very very cruel. Fr. Ripperger gives very sound instructions. God and Mary be with you. Peace of the Christ child envelope you and yours.

How do you apply these teachings to a valid Catholic marriage where there is the distinction of alcoholism with a spouse? Do you end the marriage? Do you leave? This is extremely painful.
I recommend you discuss this with your spiritual director if you have one or get one by consulting the diocese if there are some priests that would be recommended to speak on marital matters.
Thank you. I needed this.
What if a person is born a psychopath? Or they remade themselves into a sociopath?
Loreto Publications sells a great book related to this topic called "Why Must I Suffer."
"What are you going to DO with that sorrow?"
What do we do with our sorrows?
There are many talks he’s given on how to do that, listen to his conference on Spiritual protection and Our Lady of Sorrows.
Also listen to what are sounds? Part 1&2 and how do you heal wounds? Part 1&2
SIX academic degrees? 😱 Does anyone know what they are?
I know his highest degree is psychology (a doctorate I think). I'm guessing he also had philosophy and theology. Who knows on the other 3.
I love romance novel/comics but I have to avoid so many because I want a romance novel that doesn't get into the imodest occasion of sin stuff..... I enjoy a story but then a few chapters in they start getting weird, it's so frustrating.
There are clean romances. I have read many. Most are set in the regency or centuries past.
Nature knows, otherwise known as Karma, Kismet, and sowing what we reap. Spreading around this brilliant talk.
I would prefer not to use the word karma though, it has pagan religious context (Buddhism iirc).
The priests at one church here at least doesn't give pennance and says all sins are absolved even the ones you forgot. As a kid, I had to do Our Fathers and Hail Marys at the altar rail. None of that now. No altar rail even.
What about victim souls?
I know one person who possess all characteristic of demon. Does it mean that person is demon or let demon consume him/him?
He's a human being, which means he has a soul. Whatever his characteristics, the best thing to do is not to judge him--because, as Father Ripperger says, you don't know anything about his baggage--but rather to pray for him. I have found out, the hard way, that asking God to give the person his "best thing," while letting God decide what that is, would probably bring good results. The results might not look good at the outset, but they will be in the long run.
Fr. Ripperger has a book called Deliverance Prayers for the Laity. They are prayers that the laity can use to bind and protect against demons.
I have heard somewhere that Jesus is your accuser before you commit a sin, the devil is your advocate. After you commit the sin Jesus is your advocate and the devil your accuser.
That is why we battle with our conscience prior and feel guilty after our fall. If we listen to the advocate we can use the grace provided to go to the sacrament of reconciliation. If we don’t, the accuser is terrible and we sink into depression.
Fr. Ripperger says all of us are assigned guardian angels and even demons, under his conference of Guardian Angels (also available on UA-cam). This is how we battle the good vs. evil

Fr. Ripperger didn't quote the Bible; he quotes St. Thomas Aquinas. The ideas of the saints are private revelations?
St Thomas Aquinas isn't private revelation💀it's theology
@@michaelwachira8484 Academic studies.
I'm beginning to think Father is not a Trump supporter. 🤔 I wish he would see how he was chosen. Have I missed something?
Do you think Jesus would be a Trump supporter? I see Fr. Rip as a Jesus supporter. ❤
if your looking to trump for answers you have taken your eyes off Jesus
Find me ONE licensed psychologist who would affirm "Sorrow is bad and should be avoided at all costs." -Ridiculous.
I appreciate much of Fr. Ripperger, but this sort of thing makes me more than cringe, and I am no fan of modern psychology.
you've not understood this, friend . maybe listen again
Matt Finley Psychologists will seek the answer as some technique that will alleviate sorrow anxiety suffering. One told me it’s normal and it’s nothing. Zero out of 3 told me to accept the feelings and zero pointed me towards a higher power. None of them helped my problem and furthermore the help I got was in the New Age arena which also did not take into consideration the source of my sorrows but rather they call the process alchemy.
witchcraft! that's scary
This is a good talk. Not all of it is precisely biblical. You have to reach quite a bit to claim that the priest alone is necessary for the forgiveness of personal sin. Notice Ripperger rarely refers to the Holy Scriptures. Rarely. This is sad as so much of what he does have to say is great Christian teaching and well founded on Biblical truth. But in my humble opinion, there is circular reasoning. The RCChurch claims through various ideologies that it holds sole authority over all matters pertaining to faith. It claims that the source is Scriptural. Brilliant theologians have argued some of these points for- virtually-ever. While there is so much to appreciate in the lectures presented by Ripperger, the tone in his voice and approach towards Protestantism is disrespectful. It's well cloaked, rather than overt, but sadly it is there. This is my subjective take on his presentation. No one is perfect and he certainly has made a contribution to the good of souls. That is something for which to give God praise and thanks. ~~
@@robertmcbride3 Arrogance and self deceiving circular logic are both mortal sins. But, hey, RIP when your time comes.
@@robertmcbride3 Well, thank you. I appreciate you clarifying your tone and intent. Your wording and total condemnation of anything outside Your Brand of Catholicism has not been Catholic teaching by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine for decades. The Baltimore Catechism, for instance, reads in direct opposition to your claim of the "sinfulness of Protestantism." Your sect of Catholicism is not recognized by Rome.
And Rome is not recognized as being in full communion by the Orthodox Churches.
They are the most ancient of faiths. Not those whom you claim were Catholic. Many were eventually. Yes indeed. But early on and contiuing until today, the Orthodox is most ancient. Including the traditional "Old" (ancient) Catholic Church. It is not Roman. They are recognized by Rome and I believe the Orthodox as well.
Very conservative Anglo Catholics have retained proof of apostolic succession. Which by the way is likely more accurate than the first 1500 years of poor technology. But, I trust the Roman bishops did their best to ordain their priests properly. St Pope John Paul ll joined in concelebration with Blessed Brother Roger of Taize. The pope granted a dispensation to the holy monk and administered the Holy Eucharist to him. However, there were separate lines for Holy Communion, one for Anglicans and one for Romans.
But I digress. By the way, if I did not say so already, the Orthodox Churches are not in full communion with Rome and do not invite them to Eucharist as they see Rome as schismatic. Rome however, invites the Orthodox to the Table. I'm writing because the extreme interpretations of current Catholic teaching is just not in line with popes for over the last 60 years or so. Maybe a little less. Most of us did not like some changes made by Vatican Council ll.
That is why as morally conservative Anglicans we follow the teachings of the present catechism while retaining many of the very old pre Vatican Council Order of the Mass. Diocese vary a little. But many of our masses are far more solemn. If you should attend and do not find Christ in the Eucharist, I'm sorry. He shows up for me and many every time if they have a broken and contrite heart. Remember Matt 11:25-26 "...I thank you Father for having kept the truth from those who think themselves so wise, and for revealing it to the childlike. Yes Father, it pleased you to do it this way." That was from memory and my punctuation and synonyms could be off a little bit from the Ignatian Bible. If so, I do apologize. The essential and contectual meaning is there I believe.
Thank you for the peaceful dialog.
@@robertmcbride3 Somehow the comment I made below was truncated. I don't remember what it was specifically, but did comment further in a new post to complete my reply. I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts. Thank you!
Do explain why people seek excorcists from the Catholic Church and not Protestant ones then? Fr. Ripperger quotes scripture dozens of times over the course of his other sermons by the way.
@@saucyvinnie3812 The premise of your question is illogical. There are highly effective exorcists in other denominations.
But if "Hollywood" has failed to inform the public it would make sense to assume otherwise. Not.
You are wrong Father Ripperger. People can be resolutely evil and follow evil. They will jump into hell in their self worship with all knowledge and curse God even with some option. It's that horrible! Can you imagine such evil? It exists, Satan knew what he did and will never come back. A mortal sin cannot be committed without full knowledge. God will not damn someone who is on the path to God. Do not instill dispair, father. I'm sorry Father Ripperger, you are misleading with good intentions. Still, you are good.
I knew a woman who was an avowed atheist who on her deathbed, dying young of cancer, chastised people that wanted to pray for her. Proud, unrepentant. I shudder to think of what greeted her the second her heart stopped.
